Great to be at the Hexham Auction Mart yesterday morning for meetings with @NFUnortheast, local farmers and a drop in surgery working with Defra UK officials, Anna and the National Farmers' Union team on the ground, and my Constituency team to help locals

It's been a busy political day for @NFUnortheast. The morning was spent with Guy Opperman at Hexham Mart hosting an agricultural surgery and the afternoon with Richard Holden MP on-farm in County Durham. Thank you to all the members involved, we couldn't do it without you 🇬🇧🚜

Guy will be around to talk to from 10am.

Today I made a pledge to stand up for our farmers in response to the growing threat of Avian Flu.

The UK is currently experiencing its most severe outbreak of Al with this notifiable disease affecting captive birds, poultry, and wild birds.

I support:

✅ A fit for purpose APHA compensation scheme.

✅ Expanding housing measures.

✅ Review marketing legislation.

✅ Investment in vaccine research.

✅ Bolstering APHA resources.

To Sedgefield’s farmers— I am on your side.

Come along to the Northumberland AGM where we will be joined by NFU Deputy President Tom Bradshaw and a complimentary 2 course supper.
